QUINCY, MI (WTVB) – A resolution that would allow the use of golf carts on public streets in Quincy was passed by the Quincy Village Council Tuesday night.
The resolution would allow those 16 years or older with a valid driver’s license to operate golf carts in the village. A $20 annual permit would be required and golf cart drivers would have to register with the Village Clerk. The speed limit would be 15 miles an hour and the golf carts would not be allowed in an area where the speed limit is over 30 miles an hour.
There would be no operation of the golf carts on U.S. 12 except for the crossing at intersections. Golf carts will also be allowed only during daytime hours which will be from a half hour after sunrise to a half hour before sunset.
Drivers must stay on the right side of the road and golf carts will not be allowed on the sidewalks.
The Village Council also approved a $2 per hour pay raise for Quincy’s two full time police officers which is effective immediately which will bring them in line with other departments. Their wage structure will be revisited during the budget process.
